How do you go to school? In winter I usually go by car, but when the weather is nice I like going to school by bike. If you're one of my pupils, you probably go to school by car, by bike or walking. If you are not one of my pupils, maybe you live far from the school and you go to school by boat or by train: let me know, please!

Here you can find some games and activities about vehicles and trasport.

I hope you enjoyed yourself and learnt something more about the Romans!
